The application window, which began on June 24, 2024, will remain open until August 9, 2024.
The Womenpreneur Pitch-a-ton program is designed for female entrepreneurs aged 18 to 55 who have been running their businesses for at least one year and hold at least 50% ownership or control rights.
This year’s (2024) program, the sixth of its kind, includes an eight-week mini-MBA training course in collaboration with the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
The three-month Womenpreneur Pitch-a-ton program features pitching sessions where participants will present their businesses to a distinguished Pan-African jury.
The top finalists will integrate the knowledge gained from the mini-MBA into their pitches, competing for financial grants and other prizes.
Speaking on the programme, Abiodun Olubitan, group head of women’s banking at Access Bank, said:
